TEHRAN (ISNA)-Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Monday that the country holds documents showing the terrorist group involved in recent attack in Iran is equipped by NATO forces in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

"We have documents showing that these groups are equipped by North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) forces in Afghanistan and Pakistan and are guided by their intelligence."

He also referred to wrath of domineering countries of Iran's progress and said, "enemies are angry with us, they say that Iran will make atomic bombs in next five years, it is a sheer lie, supposing they are right, they have declared that they hold 5000 bombs (referring to the number of the US bombs), does a person with 5000 atomic bombs fear one bomb?"

"It is certainly not true and they know that we are not seeking atomic bombs?"

He added, "they (the West) is not angry at atomic bombs or Iran's missiles, their major concern is due to vigilance of Iranian nation."

Also concerning banking sanctions against Iran and inspection of its ships, he said, "they think we will hand Iran to them with these measures, but it is a mistake."

He also criticized the West's double standards against Iran (issuing resolutions on Iran and speaking of dialogue) and said, the cowboy attitude has no place in Iran."
